Margarita (74) lives alone. She had 8 children but most of them have passed away. Few months ago, one of her feet was nearly amputated after it was injured and became infected. She suffers from diabetes and hypertension and refuses medical treatment. She has bruises all over her body. Arthritis aggravates her pain and makes it difficult for her to move. Sadly, also by that time, she fell down to the ground trying to get a mango from a small tree and broke her hip. Currently is recovering from that surgery. She has been toothless for 25 years and although she has a fractured and deteriorating upper denture, never had one in her lower jaw, eating and chewing directly with her gums, which has caused severe bone loss. Now we are proud to provide a new smile to Margarita, helping and improving her oral health and general health, thanks to Bitcoin 🦷 🇸🇻 https://blossom.primal.net/6ef846e6848a0693c3f44d21502abed99c98a0ba5e6f675da96c6db56dbe3aa7.3gp

Candida (60) doesn't have a formal job. She earns her living selling fruit, farming, doing housework and taking care of her tiny home. She has six children and hopes her youngest daughter will succeed in school (who dreams of becoming a nurse). Fifteen years ago, she had a kidney surgery and for 25 years, has been missing almost all of her teeth. Due to limited financial resources, never had access to dental rehabilitation. Thanks to Bitcoin, Candida now is improving her chewing ability and self-esteem + glowing with her new beautiful smile🇸🇻 🦷 ⚡

Doña Rosa (61) sometimes has seasonal work in a groceries store (sometimes don't). Twenty five years ago was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, during which time also lost most of her teeth. At the time she had the chance to get dentures, but they broke easily, leading to many problems with her oral health. Over time, she developed a palatal torus (a bony growth on the palate) that complicates treatment and makes rehabilitation a challenge. But we are prepared for the challenges and after several months of treatment, have proudly recovered and rehabilitated Doña Rosa smile! 🇸🇻 🦷 ⚡ https://blossom.primal.net/e8886a606ffd2750fc69d0328be2a9c7dd3eef37bbfe59ea67008e794f5fb185.3gp
